ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Violin

Violins are a type of musical instrument that look like a big fiddle! They have four strings that you use a bow (like a stick with some horsehair on it!) to make music on. To make music on a violin, you put your left hand on the strings of the violin to press down on them and make different notes, and you move the bow with your right hand to make the strings vibrate and play notes.
